I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,
|
I got up and walked away.
|
Oh, I was just a boy,
|
I didn't no how to play.
|
|
Worked hard and failed
|
now all I can say is
|
I threw it all away.
|
Oh, I was just a boy
|
giving it all away...
|
|
sail away, sail away,
|
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
|
giving it all away
|
|
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
|
I've given it all away...
|
|
Went out in the world too much for my nerves
|
only myself to blame.
|
oh, I was just a boy
|
nobody else to blame...
|
|
I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
|
stand on my head and say
|
oh, I was just a boy
|
giving it all away...
|
|
sail away, sail away,
|
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
|
giving it all away
|
|
ooh, I know better now, I know better now
|
given it all away...
